Traditional Treatment For Chicken Pox

With the Prime Minister of Malaysia down (but not out) with chicken pox, the entire country is talking about it. People are saying that he is too old to be infected but there is no age limit. Did you know that the older one has chicken pox, the more dangerous it is?

Well, I don't have chicken pox yet and I don't expect to have because I took anti-chicken pox injections when I was a teenager. Back then, we had to take three jabs and each one cost RM150 or RM200. I really can't remember. My brother and sister also had their chicken pox prevention injections. I wonder why the PM, so rich and educated, did not take this chicken pox preventive jabs.

I read that there is a traditional treatment for chicken pox that is effective. A herb known as neem (Azadirachta indica) is a proven treatment. In Mandarin, it's called "ying lian" while in Tamil, it is called "veepelai". I have no idea what this leaf looks like. I just hope that my dose of anti-chicken pox will last me a lifetime!
